A little bit of Alex goes a long way, so I'm using a couple of reddit threads to selectively pick from peoples' "Best Of" lists.

Right now it's #404, Alex Goes to CPAC, and it's incredible to hear him bellowing onstage (and from offstage while other people are speaking), just progressively drunker and drunker.

"We're having a good time tonight in defiance of their tyranny, it's amazing"

Thank you to all that have been posting recommendations, keep them coming :mcnally:

IIRC he walked back earlier statements in the same deposition, in one of the formulaic objections episodes.

The Dollop has always sucked about this. The most odious aspect is that they'll act a bit like Robert here and be like "oh my god I cant believe you are making a big deal out of this I'm not loving calling all of these sources!!!!!!!!!" and then when people respond by saying that's not what is being suggested they'll add the most cursory bullshit at the end of the episode or MAYBE up front in passing.

They make their living from other people's work and that includes paying someone $15/hr to summarize it for them. Most of the time they won't even bother to learn how to pronounce the names of the authors or the main characters of the stories they are telling. Lazy bullshit top to bottom.

KF is always on point, as far as I can tell, because Dan is meticulous and rigorous in his work and ethics.

But has he asked alex for permission before he made his content solely based on him :ohdear:

Cracking the gently caress up right now because I started listening to episode 202 (September 4-6, 2018) and the first ten minutes of actual Alex Jones content is about his Google Analytics. He won't stop complaining about how no one will acknowledge his traffic is better than ever since getting kicked off YouTube, and he can prove it with his Google Analytics graph. He even says he'll post a video of their Google Analytics on Twitter (right before he got banned) to show everyone their spike in traffic. :allears:

The thing everyone forgets is precious metals are just as much of a fiat currency requiring the good faith of your local government to have any value. If New Austin uses gold as their only currency then the first man to figure out how to make his own gold-imitation paint is the first billionaire of the post-apocalypse, you need minting facilities to verify the gold's authenticity and stamp the king's face on coins or everyone has every reason to assume it's fake

Anyone with a physics textbook could measure its density

I still believe that the ad read was spontaneous. He’s an oral story teller, so he has practiced rhythms and repetitions he used as places to give his brain a moment to make up more bullshit. The spiel is such a muscle memory, now, that if he gets angry enough his “performative self” kicks in.

Jordan reacting to stuff is mostly fine. Jordan trying to explain stuff or offering solutions is insufferable.

The parts of Alex's testimony that would have made me lose my temper and start screaming in his face were his pauses following each question.

Mark: Mr. Jones are you aware your birthday is this date?

*35 second pause*

Alex: Well, I know that I was given cake and presents on that day a few times but I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Mark: Thank you, Mr. Jones.

Mark even reminds Alex, I think as a kindness, that he could sue his lawyers for malpractice or whatever. Alex won’t, though. That’s too much like admitting he hosed up in his decision making.

Suing his lawyers and winning would mean more money going to the plaintiffs.
